{ho ho ho MeRrY ChRisTmas}

I love Christmas time this year because Wesley is really getting into it. I know that he totally doesn't know what's going on but you can tell he gets excited. He's seen Santa twice this year and loved it. We also decided to get a small Chrismas tree this year so that he could help decorate it. Even though he loves to take the decorations off it's still fun for him. He also loves to walk around the house and say. "ho ho ho, Merry Christmas." I love my little boy so much!!

Wesley in line with the kids to see Santa at our Ward Christmas Party.Oh my goodness, there's Santa!!!

Almost there...I LOVE Santa!! Starting to get a little impatient!!

Finally we arrived!! Wesley loved Santa and Mrs. Clause. We wont tell Santa who he liked more!!
Every year since Wesley was a baby we've gone to Costco to see Santa. It happens to be the busiest time to ever go but it's fun. I was pleasantly surprised that Wesley did so well this year because last year he cried and screamed the whole time. But this year he loves Santa. So hopefully next year we'll do just fine with two little kiddos!!

2008 Struve Christmas

Wesley had a good 1st Christmas. We were excited to wake up Christmas morning & it was snowing. We had fun with my family.

My dad, Annikka & Nathan..{my niece & nephew}

Wesley loves to put things in his mouth no matter what it is...sorry little Annikka!!

Did I mention that he loves to lick things also?!?!

Did I also mention that Welsey doesn't stop moving & he loves to fling his arms around!!!

It is so hard trying to get everyone's attention...the 3 cousins on Christmas morning.

My brother Michael & Nathan.

This is one of Wesley's presents we gave him... a rainforest jumperoo. He loves it so much so it was a good pick on Santa's part. Little Annikka fell asleep in it.

Wesley's presents from Santa....he got more then mom & dad!!
